Trying to do this and running into my apt-ignorance, I think. I took Brendan's list of mirrors and chose a line for my sources.list file, for example: deb http://people.brainfood.com/~doogie/x4.2/mirror sid/i386 / ...but 'apt-get update' gripes as follows: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://people.brainfood.com sid/i386// Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/people.brainfood.com_%7edoogie_x4.2_mirror_dists_sid_i386___binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I don't normally install packages from outside a given release of the distro, so this sort of thing is new to me. Have I missed something? So far I've tried two different mirrors with similar results. Thanks, -mrj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
